I've heard all the bad things about Armor All. In fact, the manufacturer of the tonneau conver on our truck specifically mentions Armor All as a product not to be used. On the other hand Dennis has been using the stuff for 30 years and his car is still good. I had a vinyl top car and the top looked much better than the car and it was always treated with Armor All. Curious.

Bill Porterfield used Armor All on the tires on the Berger ZL1 for years. The outside where he used it had no cracks but the inside where none was used they were dried and cracked.

I just bought some of that 303 Aerospace Protectant over the winter and treated all my 36 yr. old original weatherstripping and convertible top to a coat of it. Seems to be good stuff. About $1/ fl. oz. at a local Body Shop - doesn't seem too pricey to me.

Re: Armor All - I had a 73 Z28 that I bought new and drove sparingly until I sold it 5 yrs ago. It received regular treatment with Armor All over the years and I saw absolutely no detrimental effects from it.

The key with armor all is that you have to continue to use it...if you stop using it, everything turns brown and dries out...that's my experience...

To the 303 Aerospace products. I've been using them for a while now and nothing can compare.The key is to go back and wipe it all off after a few minutes.It has a nice shine and it is DRY.No Armor All slip and slide and not a chance for a layer of mold to develop.I really like it on a V-top.......

Hmmmmm....when I was in H.S., Armor All was unheard of, maybe not even invented yet. We were told to use Lemon Pledge Different product, same effect
